U19 WC: Bangladesh set 227-run target for West Indies

The Bangladesh Under-19 Team have set a 227-run target in their ICC Under-19 World Cup semi-final against West Indies at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur on Thursday.

The junior Tigers have managed to score 226 runs after losing nine wickets in their 50 overs against the visiting West Indies.

Earlier, Bangladesh captain Mehedi Hasan Miraz has opted to bat first after winning the toss.

Bangladesh made one change by bringing in offspinner Mosabbek Hossain for left-arm spinner Ariful Islam who went wicketless against Nepal in the quarter-final.

West Indies captain Shimron Hetmyer was not too bothered about bowling first and he fielded an unchanged side from their quarter-final against Pakistan.

Bangladesh: 1 Pinak Ghosh, 2 Saif Hassan, 3 Joyraz Sheik, 4 Nazmul Hossain Shanto, 5 Zakir Hasan (wk), 6 Mehedi Hasan Miraz (capt), 7 Mohammad Saifuddin, 8 Saeed Sarkar, 9 Mehedi Hasan Rana, 10 Mosabbek Hossain, 11 Saleh Ahmed Shawon

West Indies: 1 Gidron Pope, 2 Tevin Imlach (wk), 3 Shimron Hetmyer (capt) , 4 Keacy Carty, 5 Shamar Springer, 6 Jyd Goolie, 7 Keemo Paul, 8 Michael Frew, 9 Ryan John, 10 Alzarri Jospeh, 11 Chemar Holder
